@goosehd - some great tunes here!  Sadly, unless he is buying under a pseudonym, Mr Clapton has not become a regular customer.

But who needs celebrities when we have the coolest customers on the planet? As evidenced by this thread

My introduction to what would become my favourite band. 20th anniversary this year, too

[Aetas]

You are hitting ist again @Tago Mago
Heard them a lot in recent years…

[Tago Mago]

@Aetas thanks. There's a couple of people and bands who made me delve deeper into "obscure" 60ies and 70ies music such as Can, Neu! or King Crimson. Opeth and Steven Wilson are among them

Great to hear 

I‘ve posted every band, you have named over the years, in this IH-Music thread.

Please continue Tago Mago!

Love Wilson, Porcupine Tree, and The Pineapple Thief.

Not to forget ‚No Man‘ in the Steve Wilson cosmos

@Aetas Every time I think I have reached the bottom of the rabbit hole, someone shows me something new.

That was off my radar, and now I have something new to explore.

Thanks!

@Aetas @goosehd You may already know this, so apologies if I am telling you yesterdays' news. Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness (his partner in No-Man) actually started a podcast called "The Album Years" in which they talk about their favourite albums from across the musical spectrum released in one particular year, with an emphasis on records that haven't necessarily been discussed and dissected to death

[goosehd]

@Tago Mago I wasn’t aware and will dig into this during the weekend.  Really appreciate the info!!

[Aetas]

Thanks @Tago Mago

Opeth, Wilson ? Would people who love great denim would have great taste in music ? 
Did you try Storm Corrosion ? The one album project by Steve Wilson and Mikael Åkerfeldt.
To be honest I'm not a fan of it, but what Iike with these guys is they don't fear to experiment and get out of the rock/metal clichés.

Could not have said it better @NorK
Never heard of Storm Corrosion before.

@Tago Mago Can is the shit…the story behind Damo Suzuki is rad as hell. Omar Rodríguez-Lopez (At the Drive in, The Mars Volta) did an album with him in 2007. Super groovy stuff.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is an amazing guitar player to see live. I had the pleasure of watching him play a solo show one time in DC and with The Mars Volta twice in Baltimore.

I was just out petting the neighbors dog and I was reminded of this song

[goosehd]

@Aetas @Tago Mago Just finished listening to 1980 of the album years and I thoroughly enjoyed it!  Thank you both very much. 

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia thanks for the link, didn't know about this. At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta have been on my list for a while, I just never got round to giving them a proper listen.

Storm Corrosion didn't do that much for me when I listened to them. Maybe time to revisit.

Total change of pace - Lovecraft-inspired Death Metal :
